TO LL WHOM I'I MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that-I, RUSSEL FRISBLE, of Cromwell,l in the county ofMiddlesex, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new andimprove'dMode of Fastening the Glass in the Cast-Iron Frame of a Toy Looking-Glass and I do hereby ldeclare that-the following is a full and exactdescription. thereof,v reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters'of-ret'erence marked thereon. The nature of myinvention consists in casting into the` back of the cast-iron frame ofa. toy looking-glass, near the edge otl,the frame, at the 'same timethat'the frame is cast, three pieces, o 'ue on each side of the framenear the top of it, and oueat the bottom of the frame, midway, of tin,sheet iron, or anyr eheapmetals that will not melt upon the liquidironscoming in contact with them in' the process of casting; of' aboutone-fourth of an inch square, and thi-nenough so that theycan be easilybent down agaiustlthe glass and at the same time form a. securefastening for the glass when it isin its place in Athe frame. When theglass is put in its pla-cein `the frame, these piecesof metal arcpressed dojqvnwithretse upon the glass, and thus form a securerfasteningfor it. "Io enable others skilled in the art to make and use myinvention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. i

I mould my frame after `any of thekuown'patterns, in sand, and beforepouring the liquid iron into the mould, I place these pieces 'of metalor, fasteners inthe sand of'ovhich the mould is'composed,A at thosepoints' where -I irish to' fasten them intoI the frame, leaving a.littlepart of' each out of the sand, enough so that they may be"i"aste11eflV firmly in the frame, and then I pour;` into the mould the meltediron, which surrounds the parts of the fasteners left outlof ther'sand;and as the iron cools, these pieces of metal or fasteners become irmlyfixed in the frame. These pieces of metal 01` fasteners are aboutone-fourth of an inch Wide and a little more than one-fourth oi" an inchlong. Figure V2, in the drawing, represents oneof them.y E These piecesof metal may consist of tin, sheet iron, or any cheap metals thatWilli'not 'melt upon the liquid irous coming ii;

contact with'them in the process of -castingya'nd thinenough so thatthey may be easily bent down, andat the` same time form a securefastening for the glass.' Figure I of the drawings represents a framewith these pieces of metal or fasteners in it.` The pieces arerepresented by A, B, and C in the drawing. These pieces or fasteners arecast into the frame at such an angle' that the glass can be convenientlyput in its place in v'the fra-me, (letters A andBin the drawingrepresent two'fasteners as they are cast into the frame,) and ivhen thelass is placed in the frame, the pieces or fastenersare'pressed down'upon the glass, as represented by letter C iu thech'aWiEg,l which is athird fastener hent down in the manner-for' fastening. the glass, andwhen bent or pressed down they form a secure and a cheap fastening forthe glass. I use three in each frame, but more may be used if desirable.I l i I lVhat I claim as my'inrention, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, lis The fastening of the glass into the cast-iron frame of a.toy looking-glass, by means of small pieces of tin sheet iron, orothersuitable metal cast into the edge of thelframe, asherein described.
